Mr. Miller is keeping house in a snug little flat on Van Ness avenue. Mr. Fedris, his manager, is allowed to enjoy with the star the delights of home life. Fedris, who is an unusually stalwart and handsome chap, thinks equally as well of Miller as a house- keeper as an actor. “It is ‘not only the ‘rarebit, said Fedris, “it is the chops. A trifle smoky when he gets through with them, but he eats them and I know he relishes them.” In the Miller flat, however, there is other cooking than that which is done - by the star. A chef with a worldwide reputation for several tempting “petit plats” rules the range. “Jules,” said his master when he went through the trying ordeal of engaging him, “I know you fellows always want the lime light to follow you about and insist that the spot that marks the cen- ter of the kitchen be sacred to your gifted personality only. That will be all right—when I'm not around. But when the goddess of the cuisine calls and you see me coming with the cheese —you will exit r. u. 1.” Jules knew he was face to face with the truth in art, and bowed in humble acquiescence. The little flat that is to be the Miller home for the next ten weeks has already taken on many features indica- tive of the personality of the master. It is spick and span and neat. ‘The furniture is substantial and ar- tistic. There is no superfluous bric-a-brac. Books are everywhere. The latest publication, the last celebrated nove! historical works and books of refe ence. are scattered throughout the house. Although order is the watchword of the home, there is an artistic disar- rangement of things that shows the house is lived in—that shows the books are read and the luxuries enjoyed. It is the home of an artist and the artistic atmosphere is round it every- W here. Miss Anglin, the fascinating leading lady of the company,declares she keeps house because nature never intended her for a housekeeper and she loves a cup of tea, boiling hot tea, when she returns from rehearsal. The clever leading lady, of all the housekeeping qualities possesses only the very worthy one of appreciation. She couldn’t boil an egg properly if her life depended upon it, and is fright- r d at the very thought of attempting ), make a cup of coffee. Miss Anglin ught her maid with her from New Yark, and with that worthy person’s assistance took possession of her home before she had secured the ser- vices of the pecessary servants. When there is rehearsal to attend dally very little time remains for household duties and so the securing of domestics had to be nec rily postponed for several days. In a way it was quite awful,” said Miss Anglin. ‘‘Lena, my mald, cooks fter a fashion, but then I patronized ularly the candy stores and had re plenty of ice cream soda and that sort to cut my appetite and I was not so tremendously hungry.” Miss Anglin’s home is a “love. Ev- erything about it proclaims the ease and luxury the fascinating mistress adores. A dear little garden with a miniature lawn and a wild confusion of mignonette and sweet peas steps right off from the dining-room. It is here the fair lady of the house sips There are other resemblances which have called forth exclamations of sur- prise. Mrs. Stuart M.

Add more salt if needed, the amount depending upon the pork or bacon. Pack it into a brick loaf pan and bake it slowly three hours, or pack it in a mold and steam it for three hours. Serve hot with a border of hot boiled rice and currant jelly sauce. Or if to be served cold, slice it thin and gar- nish it witn parsley. VEAL ROLL.

One of her greatest delights is to wander into the kitchen, hover round the range and with infantile curioslty raise the cov- ers of the pots and kettles and to ask the cook all sorts of bewildering ques tions. When she is tired of the mysteries of the cuisine she strolls into the dining- joys the proces room and fingers lovingly the dainty faience that is her delight and pride. Miss Anglin's tastes are simple. Al plain little dinner well cooked, daintily served, and ice cream is all she de- mands. In her cozy little sitting-room Miss Anglin surroun If with the things she loves pictures of mother, brothers, sister and father are where she can always see them “They say I lo like father,” she says, and her eyes shine with a pride that even the tears that dim them when she looks upon that poor lost brother’s face cannot efface. Miss Anglin has no desire to master the intricacies of housekeeping. She is too engrossed with her art to think of anything else. Her tastes and her habits are simple. ‘“Most people get a totally wrong idea of our life,”” she ex- plained. ‘“‘After the theater' we are supposed to indulge in the most out- 9rageous extravagances. My wildest dissipation so far has been a car ride. The other night after the performance Mr. Miller and I got on a car, rode to the terminus and came back without even alighting. I don’t know what car it was or where we ment. I only know we enjoyed the ride.” In spite of Mr. Miller's and Miss Anglin's success in the housekeeping line the palm for housekeeping qualifi- cations must go to Guy Standing. Standing is a yachtsman, and that ex- plains everything. Standing keeps house with James Lindsay and Earle Brown; that is, Standing attends to the household and the other fellows enjoy the fruits of his labors. £ “I am a yachtsman,” said Standing, “and I have been married seven years. Those are my credentials as a house- keeper. I not only know how things ought to be done, but I know how to do them In the Standing flat everything shines and has that peculiarly orderly look of things nautical. There 1is nothing bachelorlike about the house. It really looks as though some thorough ‘“haus- frau” presided over its destinies. The walls are hung with excellent paint- ings and water-color sketches, all by the man who amuses the world in the theater at night and makes the coffee in_the morning. Nature has been more than kind to Standing. She has loaded him down withunusual gifts as an artist, she has given him a magnificent voice, made him a more than fairly good actor, en- dowed him with housekeeping quali- ties and let him be the owner of a most wonderful bull terrier. And, most of all, Standing loves his bulldog, who rejoices in the romantic name of Hugo Belsamo. Music and act- ing, painting and housekeeping are all well enough in their way, but they don’t weigh much with Standing in comparison with Hugo. Just at present the man who runs the best-regulated flat of all the Miller Company house- keepers has one deep regret—he got to San Francisco too late to show Hugo at the dog show.
